The Eye of the Storm

Sometimes it seems that this old world
Is turning upside down
So many lives are troubled
So many wear a frown

Even in the work place
There is tension in the air
Complaining that they are not happy
And treated so unfair

But when the whistle blows at five
I go to where peace is the norm
That’s the time when I go home
To my eye of the storm

This world is like a hurricane
With its violent strong winds
But even in its fury
There lies a peaceful place within

For me, home is that peaceful place
My shelter from the storm
We can lock the troubled world outside
And stay here nice and warm

In this, the place that we call home
A peaceful life’s been formed
And she’s always waiting here for me
In my eye of the storm

Jack Roberts – February 17, 2003

Jack this is great that you have a safe
haven; where you feel protected and can show all the love in your heart for your loved ones. So many long for this and can never have it. There is so much suffering in the world. Most of us in America are so fortunate. Bill
